Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

The 19th-century castle sits above the village of Hohenschwangau in south-west Bavaria. Built as a retreat for King Ludwig II in 1869, the Romanesque-style palace has been an inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and has appeared in movies such as "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (1968) and "The Great Escape" (1963). Every year, it attracts more than 1.3 million tourists.
